It is a common problem with paperbacks which have a plastic film
on the cover. It is more noticeable on A4 sized books than smaller
ones. Most of the time it is a gentle bending which can be reverse
rolled and ends up reasonably flat if stored vertically in a full
shelf of books. I suspect any covers that curl up into a tube have
been stored at the top of a pile. I'd regard them as damaged in
storage.
